Michael,
I think it is great that two of your students are participating in this
program. Of course I can't do anything about the funding for Nickolai. In
regard to Dan Sayers I see the same problem in this presentation that existed
in the last one. If he were listed as the sole author he would be eligible for
up to $600 from the Graduate College. Because you are listed as a coauthor he
is not eligible for those funds and at most I can offer him a pittance of the
actual cost, if anything.
